Ten Reasons to Hire an Architect

1. An Architect can help you create and focus your dream house into a built reality. Architects see the big picture. A skilled architect can help you develop and integrate your list of requirements with the other complex factors to create a unique Arizona home just for you by prioritizing your needs.

2. An Architect is a licensed professional. Architects are educated, trained, and tested in a large range of areas, including aesthetic design, ergonomics, sociology, ecology, law, building codes, construction materials and technology. This breadth of knowledge allows foresight when evaluating competing requirements and restrictions.

3. An Architect will solve your problems with creative, elegant solutions. Architects are trained to make buildings both functional and beautiful. An architect will be able to show you alternatives that you might not have considered possible.

4. An Architect is trained in communication. An architect has experience effectively communicating through written word, drawing, and verbally with the key members of the project including clients, contractors, engineers, and authorities in the manner best suited to the situation.

5. An Architect has experience. Most architects consider architecture a passion more than a vocation. They draw on past experience. They are an integral part of the design/construction community with contacts in all the fields.

6. An Architect can make your life easier! Architects can bring pictorial suggestions to the table and assist in decisions for space planning, materials, and finishes transforming your abstract ideas into a form you can visualize.

7. An Architect is cost effective. A well-conceived, designed, and coordinated project is more economical. Changes made on paper in the design phase are much less expensive than those made during construction.

8. Architecture is a good investment. Great design sells from consumer products to cities. A well designed home has a higher resale value.

9. An Architect can make your building project environmentally friendly. Skilled architects work with the environment to create spaces that are sustainable and comply with ever demanding energy performance requirements.

10. An Architect can guide you through an entire project as your advocate. An architect will be able to assist with every aspect of a project from choosing a site, city permitting, design review board submittals to construction administration. Whether you choose to start a project from the ground up or remodel an existing space, an architect will be able to help the project run smoothly during each stage avoiding disruptive surprises.

Unbuilt Project Construction Start Date: March/April 2021 Addition and Renovation of a Home at 13502 Port Royal Court Mustang Island Aransas Pass, Corpus Christi, Texas

https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/aransas-pass-waterfront-pj-vj~6434597

In July of 2020, a former client purchased a waterfront marina home in Aransas Pass, Corpus Christi, Texas. They asked me to design a renovation and double the size of their south Texas Alamo style abode. They asked us to transform it into another home just like their home in Long Beach, Indiana. Suggesting that that idea would not work, we said we would address their wants, needs, budget and aesthetics for a compatible simple modern addition. We accomplished this by re-focusing the home on the westerly bay views and sunsets. Taking a cue from the generally placid bahia azul water and applying fluid design lines, on the existing historic Alamo style, we retained curvilinear nautical pilot house elements along with a bit of whimsy. The solution is visually transformative. The duality of the plan function was maintained as the owner's desire was to provide living and working space for their sons and families while maintaining clear panoramic views.

Principal, Mark Johnson

Mark Johnson and Associates was founded in 1997 in southeast Michigan by principal Mark Johnson. MJA offers a multi-disciplined team of professionals who work collaboratively, matching expertise to client/project needs. Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Furnishings are available as individual or turn-key services. Considered one of the most thoughtful talents working in Michigan, Mark Johnson believes that residential architecture and design must serve the client’s individual needs and function as beautifully as it looks. For a project to be successful, his focus is not only on the importance of getting the architecture right, but that good decoration is of equal importance, and should always be a portrait of the person who lives there. The composed placement of a window and the position of a favorite reading chair facing a remarkable site vista are of equal importance to create that perfect integration of function and personal style. MJA specializes in residential design in no particular style. Design focus is to bring to modernism a touch of warmth and personality, and to traditionalism young energy and a touch of the exotic. Details, both bold and subtle, are layered to allows the character of a home to reveal itself over time. Great homes improve with use and age and develop thru memories and permanence into inheritable heirlooms.

Your dream, our team Building a dream is so much more than four walls and a roof. It’s where you and your children and grandchildren will find comfort and share life; it’s where your business will make a name for itself serving clients. It’s where life happens, every day! Elaine Keiser Architect’s one-of-a-kind designs span all architectural references, from a sprawling Craftsman estate, a quaint Victorian, a long-coveted log cabin built off the beaten path, or a Contemporary two-story that’s picture-perfect for a growing family. With over twenty years of experience, Elaine designs custom homes that integrate into the landscape and showcase the natural features. Each design is tailored to the specific needs of the client. Elaine reviews the intimate details of how a family lives, plays, works, and entertains before starting to design their home. When completed and built, the home works much like the family does, with convenient routine, thoughtful care to daily activities and beauty that is revealed through the most simple, yet meaningful details. Elaine Keiser brings excellence in all phases of design, from conception to completion, while making the process fun and enjoyable. Building the home of your dreams has never been easier. Are you ready to get started on your dream? We’re ready, too!

Rosy Mound Retreat

Lucid Architecture is a West Michigan based architecture practice focused on creating engaging and meaningful homes for discerning clients across the country. Our projects are inspired by a passion for modern design coupled with a deep understanding of site, context, craft, and detail. In this issue of MIRA, we are excited to introduce two new projects that are both incredible examples of projects which show that amazing doesn’t have to be huge. Both of these projects are under 2500 square feet, and pack an incredible amount of design into their small footprints. The Rosy Mound Retreat wrapped up last year, and has a unique floating living room suspended above the ground level. The Mercer Residence was just awarded a design award from AIA Grand Rapids, and is a great example of what a smaller project can be on a challenging site. We also have a sneak preview of our Hidden Lakes Residence. Easily one of our most ambitious and exciting projects to date, and it has just begun construction. Visit our website for more photos and details on all of these projects.

MARSH VIEW Located in Portage, Michigan, Marsh View is a 1960’s mid-century renovation that seeks the true spirit of the original architectural intent. Formerly, a large central masonry core and 1990’s kitchen renovation blocked all views to the natural beauty of this unique site. Collaborating with the Owner, we revealed the true potential of the house by removing the masonry core and re-organizing the kitchen and main living areas. By rotating the kitchen and pulling it away from the garage, we simultaneously re-connected it to the living areas and inserted an efficient mudroom, powder and laundry that allow this young and active family to better manage the flow of their daily lives. New windows and doors accentuate the existing architectural expression of the house and enhance the design changes made to the layout. The dark, monotone exterior is quiet and sophisticated, punctuated by a warm, clean and bright interior palette. Clever storage solutions are integrated throughout the home. MMA provided full architectural and interior design services for this unique project. Photography by Geoff Shirley.

SAXONIA

SAXONIA LANE

Mathison | Mathison

Located in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the Saxonia Lane project brings new life to an existing modern gem from the 1970’s. Collaborating with a young and growing family, the design takes advantage of the best assets of the existing home while remodeling and updating it in a respectful, engaging way. The primary living area was previously an unusable indoor pool, now thoughtfully integrated with the rest of the home. Heated concrete floors, indoor/outdoor entertaining and abundant natural light make this space ideal for the family. The kitchen and dining spaces revolve around an upper-level roof deck and serve a peaceful living room with an intimate overlook to the backyard and the nature preserve beyond. The layout of the home and the circulation paths throughout provide views in all directions and bring natural light in at every turn. MMA provided full architectural services and collaborated with the Owner on all interior design. Photography by Jason Keen.

CASCADE FARMS Located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Cascade Farms explores the transformational possibilities of an early 1980’s era renovation. Newly empty-nesters, the Owners were looking for warm, modern, open and unified spaces to comfortably welcome gatherings for family and friends. Prior to the renovation, the house included many small rooms, dedicated hallways, stepped down living areas, a dark and heavy corner fireplace and limited natural light. The design objectives included accessibility of space, more natural light, better spatial connectivity and a focus on sustainable performance. The main living area is directly connected to the kitchen with a unified material palette, as well as to new outdoor living areas beyond. The primary entry was reorganized with new storage, natural light, a reconfigured stair and elegant detailing. A new central concrete hearth and fireplace provides a strong, modern focal point for the living area and conceals a TV room beyond. The exterior envelope includes new insulation throughout, siding, energy-efficient windows and two large roof-mounted solar arrays to offset energy consumption. New HVAC maximizes energy efficiency using a fraction of its former footprint. Soft tones and muted colors throughout allow handsome detailing to take center stage. MMA provided full architectural services and coordinated with an outside interior designer. Photography by Jason Keen.

“We pride ourselves in creating architecturally significant features within each space of a home. Often times, it is the windows or doors that create and highlight our design intent. Old Mission Windows has become a valued partner by providing the products, experience, and flexibility to allow our designs to become a reality. It is comforting to know we can trust in Old Mission windows to help bring our design to life.” -Nicholas White Architect/President

The firm’s ability to help others is a product of their longevity and success. Nick and Nick emphasize that “our success is because our clients become our friends.”
